What is household hazardous waste?

If you are not sure if a product is hazardous, visit the What is Household Hazardous Waste page. If you still cannot figure out if a product is hazardous, take the item to the Household Hazardous Waste Materials Collection Center.

Restrictions:

The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center is for use by Cumberland County homeowners only. Residents of the Town of Spring Lake, Fort Bragg and adjoining counties (Harnett, Hoke, Robeson, Sampson, Bladen, etc.) cannot use the center because they do not pay the Solid Waste (SW) User Fee.

There is a limit of 10 gallons or 80 lbs of acceptable waste per visit/day.

Latex paint is not accepted. To dispose of latex paint correctly, place kitty litter, sand or dirt in paint cans to absorb liquid. Once the liquid has been absorbed and is no longer free flowing, place paint can with lid off in garbage bag and throw away in trash.

Anything brought in that is not in the original container must be labeled with information on the contents of the container. If the container is not labeled, it will not be accepted.

Waste brought into the site in containers, like gas cans, that citizens want back will not be accepted. We no longer pour flammable liquid into a 55-gallon drum, so any flammable waste brought in must be left in the container.

Do Not bring empty containers or dried out containers of paint. Please remove the lids and throw them in the garbage.

Acceptable Items

Note: Bring in original containers with tight fitting lids. Any fuel brought to the facility must be in approved fuel containers, marked with type of fuel (such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel, mixed w/water, etc.) and containers must be left at facility.
